Training

Our practice sessions currently are Mondays, 9:00pm - 11:00pm Wednesdays, 8:30pm - 10:30pm Thursdays, 9:00pm - 11:00pm We practice in the Union Gym in the Union building (Beit Quadrangle, Prince Consort Road, London SW7 2BB). Normally our beginners and seniors practice together, but sometimes we organise extra sessions for people in bogu (armour). At the moment these extra sessions are on Wednesdays.

You are very welcome to come, take a look and practice with us. If you never have played Kendo before and want to visit us please come at the very beginning or at the very end of our session. Since Kendo practice is very intense it is unlikely that anybody will have time for you when you show up in the middle of a session. There is a special beginner course starting every autumn term, directly after Freshers' week. Of course it is best to start together with the other beginners. If you are an experienced player who is already in armour, it is still possible to join later in autumn term. We don't normally accept new beginners after November because the rest of the group will already be too far ahead. It is then better to wait for the next beginners' course in the autumn term next year.
